Distance Learning
Benefits
- More compelling, engaging and effective than traditional distance learning. The classic study by Wiman and Mierhenry found that people remember 10 percent of what they read, 20 percent of what they hear, 30 percent of what they see and 50 percent of what they hear and see. Video-powered distance learning leverages the most powerful learning combination - hearing and seeing.
- Speed: Training events can be produced and delivered as fast as television news broadcasts.
- Physical demonstrations and human interactions need full-motion video to be depicted effectively.
- Interactivity with presenters and subject matter experts
- Ability to review material until it is mastered
- Available 24/7
- Can actually be less expensive than other forms of e-learning
- More convenient for users
- Quality is maintained and is consistent for all users
Applications
- Management Training
Managers can stay not just on-site but at their desks while learning management strategies and techniques. The number of courses offered is limited only by limits you set. - Sales Training
Minimize downtime by delivering training to the field. Sales people can learn and boost their productivity, whether in the office or on the road, through distance learning. - Technical Training
Complex concepts and techniques can be studied over and over, and tested as much as needed with distance learning. And video allows for complex concepts to be presented graphically and verbally, as well as with text. - Safety and Compliance Training
Up-to-the-minute rules and regulations are easily incorporated into distance learning, and can be regularly updated. - Professional Education (certification, continuing education credits)
Professionals can maintain their credentials while taking courses at night, weekends, while traveling or during downtimes, and not during essential work hours. Video enables instructors to put across ideas in the most powerful, effective combination of learning media - visual, audio and text. - New Employee Orientation
Capture presentations from executives and department heads on video so they only need to be done once. Editing and special effects can add polish and professionalism that can't be duplicated in a live presentation that is given over and over. Plus, new employees have access to the material to review at a later time - after the information inundation that typically occurs at the start of employment. - Instructional How-to Video
How-to processes can be easily and effectively broken down into discreet steps and clearly demonstrated with video-powered distance learning.
